Sustainability is a key part of our value proposition to both tenants and visitors and to achieve long-term value creation in our business model. In order to anchor sustainability into its financing activities, Wereldhave developed a Green Financing Framework. It aims to attract funding that will be allocated to sustainable and energy efficient real estate assets which contribute to social and sustainable engagement in local communities. Under this framework, Wereldhave can issue a variety of green finance instruments, including green bonds, green private placements, green (syndicated) loan facilities and other green debt instruments.
The Wereldhave Green Finance Framework is aligned with Wereldhave’s new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme for 2030, A Better Tomorrow.
